QCDI 3000 is published under Chili Com Carne’s comics anthology series QCDA. Previous issues of QCDA had showcased work by our members — André Pereira in issue 1000, and Hetamoé in issue 2000. However, this new volume is entirely dedicated to Clube do Inferno. As a collective we bring an added layer of meaning to the anthology, including a subtitle to our set in the front cover: Fear of a Capitalist Planet.

Fear of a Capitalist Planet leads the four stories enclosed into different paths between the fantastic, the political and the oneiric. Dragons, policemen and misshapen pizzas populate the iconography of this project, developing an idea previously explored in our exhibitionLightning Riding Waves of Fire (El Pep, 2014): that we are living in the post-catastrophe. We’ve placed ourselves as outsiders, in the future, in a parallel reality, to retrieve alien, but not alienating perspectives.
